A baby 7 legged starfish on the glass of my aquarium. No more than 0.5cm across. (I originally tried to photograph the hermit crabs, but they are too damn fast)
PS Work -
Crop
Change white balance to give it a blue tint
Heavy USM and sharpen
Heavy use of contrast and brightness to adjust the backlight effect and deepen the blue of the water.
Probably went round the brightness/contrast/colour balance loop several times until I was happy
Taken using a Canon 100m f2.8 macro, also tried one with a reversed 50mm on the front, which got so close I could see its tonsils.

Not only are starfish just kind of strange with their regrowing limbs, but you managed to find one with seven legs... Certainly bizarre! Plus I like the colors here and the little light-colored things shooting by :)
